| We thought we had grown wise, but really we had grown foolish. We became overconfident in technology, and this could have spelled our downfall. We forgot our heart, and the deep meanings therein. The year is 2017. This is the 21st century. Are we finally moving on to a wiser era? |
| if we cannot find god then we create god like an omnibenevolent super artificial intelligence |
| We still haven't made anime waifus real so no |
| 한 번만 살지만 제대로 하면 한 번이면 충분해요 |
| >current year >world still trash >no real life waifus yet >yep it's time to give up, mass suicide time >you first But for real I thought from the Christian standpoint that God made us in his image and has "a larger mysterious plan" how could we possibly go wrong. would it not be his fault we've played God... Ofc there's the "we've strayed too far from gods light" type thought but I think we've gotten better and better especially in the 21st century with the spreading of knowledge through the Internet. |

| It's actually illegal in most countries to play god. We've actually held ourselves back a bit because of our morals. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is not up to me. |
 |
| We've come so far and we still don't know what's the colour of a mirror. |

| barely technology just started taking off in the early 2000s we are just getting started |
| have you heard the Theory of the Bicameral Mind? it's an interesting hypothesis that in the ancient times, human's minds were fundamentally different. Where as now, we are aware of our own minds and consider the inner voice to be 'me,' in ancient times the inner voice would have actually been considered as god! This might have explained some of their behavior, kind of a 'hive mind' type of society (think Ancient Egypt). It's not always widely credited but interesting to think about, and suggests that though humans might frequently play God now, it hasn't always been the case. |

| I think the biggest worry is running out of resources and destroying the planet to the point of being uninhabitable. Maybe technology will solve resource and pollution issues, but I'm not overly optimistic about that. Technology in general is posing multiple threats. For one, automation is already affecting jobs and it will continue to displace manual labor to the point where unemployment figures will keep climbing into unmanageable territory. We might also face the problem of self-replicating AI, which is a worry of many science fiction writers, as well as scientists in general. I'm not sure whether AI will overtake human intelligence, but it seems like a possibility and is among one of the areas where us humans playing God have bit off more than we could chew. We are also doing some questionable things with food and medicine which may come back and bite us in our ass. |

| we haven't grown overconfident in our technology, we've grown overconfident in our money so long as we have enough to make ourselves happy for a brief moment, then we feel content, ignoring the real problems or hindrances I could donate $10-20,000 to NASA if I wanted to and help in any way possible with helping advancing civilization, but I'd rather buy a new car |
 |
| Isn't our ultimate to replace your so called "god" at some point? Idk if technology is the right way, but it has certainly improved our lives for the past century. However, everything comes with a price, we will have to take responsibility for our actions at some point. |
| If we take a loose interpretation of Christianity and assume that "God" is literally the "Father of Humanity", then us "playing god" would just mean that we are in our rebellious teenager phase, so what follows next is... I guess we'll either crash hard or we'll somehow become mature enough by ourselves I guess? |

Replicators were originally seen used to synthesize meals on demand, but in later series they took on many other uses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicator_(Star_Trek) |
NudeBear said: j0x said: plenty of resources in space, fund NASA more please also fund 3D printing more so it can achieve molecular assembler/replicator levels And what if these near-by space resources run out? What then, further expansion? We can't keep dodging the big elephant in the room forever, lack of a sustainable infrastructure is a real problem. if further expansion to deep space is harder then just control the overpopulation but i doubt it since technological singularity promises accelerated scientific breakthroughs and innovation/inventions if humanitys future AI overlords does not decide that humanity should die plus like the other poster said there is also transhumanism |

| Not so much playing god as it is being on the top of the food chain. Like, the only natural predator left for us is Earth, time and ourselves. It'll all work itself out. |
j0x said: plenty of resources in space, fund NASA more please also fund 3D printing more so it can achieve molecular assembler/replicator levels Actually we have gotten pretty good with the stuff that counts. https://3dprint.com/139537/3d-printed-guns/ I have a printer than can print Glocks. Yes, metal 3D printing technology is real, and yes it can be used to 3D print the parts for a fully functional firearm. There are several different metal 3D printing processes and technologies, but what they all have in common is price. A metal 3D printer will cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, so using it to 3D print a gun isn’t going to be anywhere near affordable. In fact, a few years ago a company actually did use a metal 3D printer to make a gun, and Solid Concepts (now part of Stratasys Direct and no longer in the gun business) sold them for $11,000 a piece. |

Then later "God" would stop appearing directly, instead using mediums (e.g. burning branch when speaking to Moses) and limiting direct intereferences to only be at national level at most (e.g. plagues of egypt), this would perhaps be the infancy phase, which would later conclude when the whole stuff with Jesus happened perhaps being some kind of "coming-of-age ceremony", by older standards, of course where you become an adult at somewhere between 12-15 years old. Now in the teenager phase (or perhaps rather even young adult) "God" left humanity alone to get it's own experiences without constant nagging by a parent. The interesting part is that is coincidents with 3 sacraments of the Catholic Church that people have mostly based on time/age, known as a set as the "Sacraments of initiation" and they are usually given, at least in modern times, the shortly after birth, the second at about 9 or 10 years old and the last one at about 14 years or later. That said I don't say that this is in any way, shape or form the truth, but it's a quite an interesting interpretation of "God's role as a father to humanity", even if it's just a coincidence or even if one doesn't believe in god in the first place. Of course if you look closely at it there are some weaknesses to such a train of thought, but it's an interesting thought nonetheless, even if it's just for entertainment's sake. |

Not sure if one can stop it. Nietzsche did not think it could be stopped. I fear that all we can do is to let people experience the natural conclusion to their idealism. Sort of like letting women who want to marry ISIS fighters marry them, then banning them from returning. no joke this might be the third time ive seen you mention these girls marrying ISIS fighters recently is it a big problem where ur at or something lmao but yeah i guess we're entitled to see where our entitlement leads us |
